Good afternoon.
There is an idea to launch a video site, not large-scale, but for a rather small audience.
How to make visitors able to watch videos on mobile devices?
Do I need to convert the video to all possible codecs myself or are there services for this?
Also, which codecs do you need to support?

Take an ordinary grandfather. Convert enough to mp4. And the channel is wider ...
For example, I had a 4GB channel for video for mobile phones, now I raised it to 10 and it barely pulls ..
To convert ffmpeg.

It's actually a very simple task. Webserver, Queue (AMPQ), simple string-to-50 conversion daemon.

If all the video will be converted manually in advance, then it's generally simple. Imagine that your video is just plain static. Take any shared hosting with a normal disk space (shared is better because it is cheaper per gigabyte hdd), connect the player (jwplayer, flowplayer) on the page and go)

You can try to take plex.tv as a basis. For example, each user uploads videos to user folders on linux. And the media server is configured to work with them.

From codecs, deal with the h264 options, there are restrictions for debilniks.
In general, almost everyone understands it. Fallback - VP80 and you have 100% coverage of all clients. It is better to convert video files in advance.
If there are not enough people (for your company) - a home server with 100 Mbit optics, if you have such a pull.
